    Maybe if he plays great we could trade him for a player like Larry Nance.

    Speaking of clown town, how come I’m having to watch the Kings feed on League Pass? When are you guys going to do some work?

    ...this seems like the only logical reason for doing this based on how much better Winslow appeared to mesh with the other 4 starters :dunno:

    If Chauncey starts Hart at the 3 instead of Winslow, it's going to be worse than last season when he started Powell.
    Winslow clearly makes Nurkic a better player when he is on the court. Couldn't say that about Powell's replacements.
    And Hart's slide in effectiveness compared to when he was playing shooting guard might be worse than Powell's.

    It's hard not to overreact to the everything now that the season is approaching. Needless to say, I hope this is an inaccurate report. And it's hard, because I don't like Chauncey at all, but I want to be even-handed and level-headed and all the good things, and yet still it just seems like he sucks even when I try to think that way. I worry we are fucked.

    No they are already in Sac…. They are in a bus heading to SF as I type. We didn’t broadcast tonight, so we’ll fly down in the morning and fly back with them Tuesday night. Last game off for 6 months for us.

    No way, man. The tone has been set. The pundits are right.

    Hart is better at everything other than 3pt shooting compared to Powell. How would it be worse?

    I'm saying the drop from Josh Hart the shooting guard to Josh Hart the small forward in the current lineup is worse than the drop from Norman Powell the shooting guard to Norman Powell the small forward.
    I am not saying Josh Hart is a worse small forward than Norman Powell. Neither guy should be playing small forward.
    I'm saying, after watching Josh Hart explode as the shooting guard many of us had been hoping for, now having to watch him in a much diminished role as a small forward is much sadder than whatever was taken away from Norman Powell when he was forced to play small forward.
    Whether that's true isn't as important as what Billup and Cronin have done to Josh Hart.
    It's much sadder to see it done to Josh Hart than Norman Powell, I think most of us can agree on that.
